  1. Get RN in 2 yrs or less!

    karen230 replied to simplymemyselfandi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Western New York, and the community colleges (ADN program) around here do not have any pre-req's for their nursing programs. You can take A&P and Micro concurrently with your Nursing...

  2. Career Change Advice Needed

    karen230 replied to 2bLilMrsNurse76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P I&II next fall and spring when my oldest is in Kindergarten and then will start the nursing program in Fall of 09. I would so love to start the program Fall 08 but we cannot...

  3. Career Change Advice Needed

    karen230 replied to 2bLilMrsNurse76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, not familiar with that saying. I worked in a medical office briefly before getting the job I have now. I was never so sick in my life (until I had kids, LOL). I am not trying to get in to a...

  4. Career Change Advice Needed

    karen230 replied to 2bLilMrsNurse76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am switching in the middle of my program (actually I am 1 full-time semester away from graduating my current program ) A few of my courses are transferring to the nursing program but most of them...

  5. What pre-req./requirements are in your school?

    karen230 replied to nursic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be attending an ADN program so the pre-req's are practically nill. I have to get a grade of "C" or better in a biology and have a 2.0 GPA to be accepted. I'm taking the biology now and...

  6. Any career changers?

    karen230 replied to TriniChick's topic in New York Nursing

    I think it really depends on the requirement for your particular program. I see many of the people on these boards who have to take A&P I & II and Micro before they can even be accepted to...

  7. Paying for school

    karen230 replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    O.K., then what if you are 1 semester away from graduating with your degree, you have no financial aid left, and for whatever reason, you are unable to take out a student loan. At that point I would...

  8. Paying for school

    karen230 replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with you for the most part, but not completely. I believe that there are circumstances that require you to utilize your 401(k), if it is raid the 401(k) or lose the house, I would opt to raid...

  9. Paying for school

    karen230 replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Asing this question again...........

    karen230 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to see how many of us there are out there this semester. Here we go: How many of us 30 somethings are out there? How many of us are making a career change? Well you guessed it, I'm a 30...

  12. at what age did you start studying nursing?

    karen230 replied to cksl's topic in General Students

    I have often considered going in to Nursing and this is the farthest "considering" it has gone. I'm currently 37 and taking the only pre-req I need to be accepted in to the RN program. At my school...

  13. Financing school

    karen230 replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I didn't know any better, I would have sworn I posted this!! On paper, DH and I make too much as well but you need to try anyway, you might be surprised. Does your school offer scholarships?...

  14. Asing this question again...........

    karen230 replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looks like we are the same age, so THANK YOU for replying :w00t:. I did a similar thread like this a while ago and was amazed at how many of us 30 somethings there were out there. I met a woman...

  15. Last pre-req. before starting NS!!!

    karen230 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well tonight I begin my last pre-req before I can begin NS. I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. This is the make it or break it course for me. If I can't do well in this class then I have...

  16. Looking for truly honest answers

    karen230 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hi All, I currently work full-time and am hoping to make a career change to Nursing. I have applied for a position that isn't exactly suitable for me now but would be perfect once I attend school...

    karen230 replied to karen230's topic in Psychiatric

    No it wasn't at a Psych Center but I do have an interview at one next week . It is for a Unit Secretary position, 2 10-hour days (Sat. and Sun.), hopefully it will seem like a good place to work and...

  18. Did anyone attend the RN program at NCCC?

    karen230 replied to karen230's topic in New York Nursing

    It doesn't say who is teaching my bio class yet, it still says "Staff". I am signed up for A&P I, I tried to get into human bio but the class is full and no one has budged and I do not want to...

  19. Did anyone attend the RN program at NCCC?

    karen230 replied to karen230's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure to laugh or cry at your comment . What was so bad about the lab? PM me with an answer. A girlfriend and I are hoping to attend together. We are trying to get into a biology for Spring...

  20. Did anyone attend the RN program at NCCC?

    karen230 replied to karen230's topic in New York Nursing

    Thank you so much for your reply!!! I am an older student so hopefully some life experience will help me get through a little. Did alot of people you started with quit or get released due to poor...

  21. Human Bio or jump right to A&P????

    karen230 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college catalog suggests that if you haven't taken a biology in a long time (which is my case) or if you are not strong in biology then you should take Human Biology before taking A&P. Well I...

    karen230 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently registered for A&P I for Spring. As long as I pay the bill by 12/9 I'm in!! But see my "Human Bio or A&P"

  23. MOMS: Do you think this is taking on too much?

    karen230 replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry I jumped the gun in my response, I didn't see which classes you are taking before I replied. English is very doable w/little kids. Speech required very little effort on my part for a B. I took...

  24. MOMS: Do you think this is taking on too much?

    karen230 replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Without reading any of the other responses, I would say you have already answered your own question. You say that you are concerned that 13 hours is too much with 4 kids, and that you "think" you can...

  25. Looking for truly honest answers

    karen230 replied to karen230's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks for both your replies ladies. I wanted to believe that clerical support staff and nursing staff could co-habitate together but from what little I have been exposed to so far, it didn't look...
